By law, no child in India under 14 should work. But so many rural children are shackled by soul-crushing poverty that it forces them into child labor in fields and factories. Stats on Indian children: 2/3 are physically abused, 1/2 have known sexual abuse, 1/5 severe abuse. Over 1/2 work 7 days a week. There are over 12 million child workers in India officially, 60 million by some NGO estimates (from friendsofsbt.org Hat tip: Soma Paul)
